So I don't want to jinx myself, but I've had 6 days in a row of good blood sugar readings after being diagnosed the week before thanksgiving.  I don't think I've done anything different really and I fear that my monitor is wrong or something!  Is it too good to be true??

If you think the monitor is wrong... you could use the control formula. 

However, I had the same issue.  My doctor saw my numbers and was basically like, "Well, that glucose drink might be the sugariest thing you ever drink."  I was put down to just needing to test 4 times a day - two days of the week.  Just for good measure... because it could get worse as you gain weight and go through the rest of the pregnancy.

I know exactly what you mean!!  I was diagnosed early on (around 14 weeks) and I have only had a few high numbers - 3 over the 140 1 hour after meal.  Once I stopped eating so late I was able to get my fasting numbers under control - which I think was the Dr's biggest concern.  I haven't really changed anything except having 1/2 of the fries instead of the whole order if we eat out, or drinking water instead of sweet tea.

I think that your monitor is fine. I'll routinely have about 5 day stretches of perfect readings before getting a flukey higher reading.

OK so I did jinx myself.  I had 7 days in a row of perfect blood sugar readings and day 8-BAM! high readings...all day.  Hopefully it was just a bad day...
